love me (me) [vkook/taegguk]

[part fourteen] chapter fifty three - truthfully

"Tae?"

"Yes?" Both Taehyung and Vantae instantaneously respond, eyes still comically large.

Hoseok can't help but shiver as he slightly backs away from where he's sat across from them. "Okay, can you stop talking and making the same movements and expressions at the same time? It's getting kinda creepy."

"What do you mean?" The twins do it again, tilting their heads to the side synchronously.

"Jesus fucking Christ." Hobi dramatically throws a hand up to shield his eyes, and Jimin bursts into laughter, moving from his own seat to slide in next to their hyung and wrap his arms around him, pulling him into his chest protectively.

Yoongi's gaze doesn't miss a second of the interaction.

Namjoon clears his throat, clarifying. "Taehyung-ah."

"Hyung?" He answers softly, curiously.

"Why is there a Vantae stuck on my arm?" Namjoon attempts to wiggle out of V's vice-like grip for good measure, but the younger isn't letting up, making him huff. "What do you want from me, demon?!"

A sly smile is all that he gets in reply, along with a cheeky "Jungkookie's in love with you," which causes both Yoongi and Joon to snort simultaneously before sharing a curious look. Taehyung's gaze doesn't miss that.

"Somehow, I find that hard to believe," Namjoon tells him flatly after pulling his eyes away from the elder.

"But he is," Vantae insists, tugging on the arm in his hold even more, "and you should meet him."

He's given an unimpressed eyebrow lift. "So that I can kill him? I can't believe that this is how you guys found out."

"Wait, but you're actually RM, Joon-ah? Truthfully?" Hoseok asks from under Jimin's chin.

He's shot a sheepish nod and half a shrug.
